It was dreary and unwelcoming. I've been working extremely hard to change that for my students and your contributions have helped to make all of that possible. My students have a cozy area where they snuggle up and look at a book. It's a spot they feel safe going when they are overwhelmed and need time to regulate. You've helped me give them the tools they need to do that! \r\n\r\nThe beginning of the school year was very overwhelming for me but knowing that I had the support of both friends and strangers gave me what I needed to hit the ground running. My students are so deserving and I thank you from the very bottom of my heart for your support.
